500 See Blossoms Again in a Warm Spring (1/2)

Was it expensive? It was not expensive, at least Wang Yao did not feel it expensive. Du Feng, as a patient, did not either. He paid decisively and left.

Health was the most precious part of one's life. Everything would be possible, as long as one was alive.

In the morning, Wang Yao received eight patients. One suffered from a headache, and the rest were all colds and fevers.

”This is the cold season!”

When he went back at noon, a guest unexpectedly paid a visit to his home. Chen Boyuan, coming from Jing, did not go to the clinic. Instead, he first went to visit Wang Yao's parents.

”You come back, Dr. Wang,” Chen Boyuan said.

”Hey, when did you come?” Wang Yao asked.

”He has been here for a while,” Zhang Xiuying said.

Every time this friend of her son came, he would bring a lot of gifts to her and her husband, which made them embarrassed.

”I went to the clinic, but you were busy. I didn't want to bother you,” Chen Boyuan said.

This was a strategy. He was playing emotional cards. They all understood it, so did Wang Yao.

”Is this still because of Miss Su?” Wang Yao asked.

”Yes,” Chen Boyuan said.

Last time he came, Wang Yao was dealing with matters from that insect incident. Chen Boyuan had not talked much or stayed longer. Instead, he went right back to Jing. This time, he was commissioned by Mrs. Song to come back to the mountain village again and ask Wang Yao when he could go back north.

”You have to wait for longer,” Wang Yao said.

In reality, Wang Yao wanted to go to the north. The deadline for the special task was in 20 days. The tasks relevant to those people, like Wei Hai, Lu Xian, and Zhou Wuyi, were only half finished. And, they were all in Jing.

Su Xiaoxue and Chen Zhou both suffered from difficult miscellaneous diseases, but they had been under the process of recovery. He had to struggle to cure them.

But, there were still a few people on this side. Sun Yunsheng had almost recovered. He would be no problem after two or three more treatments. There was also the relative of Pan Jun, Du Feng, who had heart issues. There were three people here that needed him.

”I will go to Jing as soon as possible,” Wang Yao said.

”Oh, OK.” Chen Boyuan had no choice but to respond like this.

After staying at Wang Yao's home for a while, he left.

”Are they from Jing?” Du Mingyang asked curiously.

”Correct,” Wang Ru said.

”And, do they specially come to your brother for treatment?” he asked.

”Correct,” she replied.

”Oh, great!” He was impressed that his future brother-in-law's medical skills were so superb that even people in Jing came to see him for medical treatment. ”Does he often visit his patients at their homes?”

”Usually he does not,” Wang Ru said.

Previously, she knew Wang Yao generally did not visit people's home. Recently, it seemed that he went out more frequently.

In the afternoon, there were fewer people coming to the clinic.

In the evening, Wang Ru and Du Mingyang both drove back to Lianshan County after dinner. The next day was Monday, so they would have to go to work.

”Be careful on the road, Mingyang,” Zhang Xiuying said.

”Oh, I will. You should go back in uncle and aunt. It's cold outside,” Du Mingyang said.

The car drove off. Zhang Xiuying watched until it disappeared at the corner of the village intersection.

”I think Mingyang is a good young man,” she said.

”Yeah,” Wang Fenghua responded.

Wang Yao nodded with a smile but did not speak.

He was indeed good. Even if he did not pursue it, he would be rich and wealthy as long as he was good to his elder sister. Plus, looking at his face, he was healthy and should feel blessed.

That night, Wang Yao managed some of the herbs on the mountain. He then read a roll of scripture book. The chanting sound floated out of the window.

The dog lying in the nest, the goshawk standing on the branches, and the black snake in the grass all seemed to be listening to the sound of the chanting. It was as if there were some mysterious things within it that they could understand.

The next morning, the sun rose early. It was also warming up. At 9 a.m., people were feeling warm, so there were more people chatting in the village.

”Did you see it yesterday? Several cars were waiting in line outside Xia Yao's clinic for medical treatment. And, they were from Jing,” one villager said.

”Yeah, line up a team,” a villager responded.

”I guess Xiao Yao earns lots of money from his clinic, doesn't he?” a villager asked.

”It must be. I heard that he charged them $2,000 for acupuncture!” another villager exclaimed.
